We'll have more pictures to post after the holidays, I'm sure. We want to wish you and your family's a Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

Riley Leanna

Hello everyone! Well, the day we were waiting for has come and gone. Our baby girl, Riley Leanna Buttz, was born at 12:24p.m. on Wednesday, October 21st, 2009. She weighed 6 lbs, 1 3/4 oz. and was 19 inches long. Mom and baby did great, and even got to come home a day early! Big sister Devin is so happy to have a baby sister! Riley's middle name was picked because of family names...Jeremy's mom's middle name is Lee, Kelli's mom's middle name is Ann, and Kelli's late Gramma Mae's middle name (one of them) was Anna. Everyone is doing great!

Almost time for baby!!!

Well, I promised I'd try to post one more time before baby arrives, so here we are! Today (10/13/09) was my last day of work. I'm now officaily on maternity leave! I decided to take off a little early this time to take care of last minute preparations for baby, my mom and dads visit on the 25th, and to relax a little! Jeremy's planning to take about a week and a half off of work right after baby's born. My mom and dad will be here to help out for about two weeks. Devin has a few days off of school during that time. So, I should have plenty of help!
Our c-section is October 21st at 12:30. I have to have a c-section this time since I had an emergency c with Devin. Here on the island if you want to do a natural after a c you have to fly to Oahu, and that didn't seem to really make sense to us. We're all excited, and maybe a little nervous! I'll miss feeling the movement inside my tummy, and being able to eat whatever I want, and not feel guilty! I won't miss the backaches, heartburn, and cankles!
Not much other news to report since our last post. I have added some pictures of the babies room below. It's not totally done yet, but close. I sure hope it's a girl because things are very pink! Also added a picture of Devin enjoying the shag rug in the babies room...no, we're not beating her...that nice bruise on her forhead is from hitting it on the computer desk!
After baby's born, and we get to come home I'll try to get a post up fairly quickly with info and pics! In the meantime, I hope everyone is healthy and happy!

Hello everyone! I don't have too many pictures to add, but feel like I should have a ton because things have been busy! I guess most of my business has been in preparing for the baby, though. That's been my main focus, especially the last few weeks. Our c-section is scheduled for October 21, and I feel like emotionally and physically I'm prepared, but we still have a lot of little things to get done before the big day! So, no pictuers of the bay's room yet! Devin has been enjoying kindergarten and learning how to swim! One day I guess she just decided she was ready to swim and not scared anymore. She's doing really well. Jeremy has been spending most of his free time training, and he can officially call himself a tri-athlete now! He completed his first triathlon in September at the Lavaman Keauhou. It consisted of a .93 mile swim, a 24.8 mile bike, and a 6.2 mile run. He completed with a time of 2 hours, 35 minutes and was 41st out of 148 participants. Not too shabby for his first race! He also just completed his second tri--the Mango Man. It consisted of a 1.2 mile swim, 15 mile bike, and 6 mile run. His time was 2 hours, 26 minutes. It was a smaller race with about forty-some people. Devin and I got to go and watch him at Lavaman, and really enjoyed it! Unfortunately I didn't get as many pictures as I would have liked! There are a few here, and we'll be getting more from the photographer who was there. Devin also got to run in the keiki run, and did great! That's about it for now. I'll try to get one more post in before the baby arrives!
